Compare 8 primary English-speaking countries for living, working, and immigration (Updated January 2025)



Frequently Asked Questions

01
Which English-speaking country is easiest to immigrate to?
Canada ranks as the most accessible with a visa difficulty score of 5/10, offering multiple pathways including Express Entry, Provincial Nominee Programs, and family sponsorship. New Zealand (5/10) and Malta (4/10) also provide relatively straightforward immigration processes. MovingTo specializes in residency programs across these destinations.
02
What's the cheapest English-speaking country with good quality of life?
Malta offers the best value with a cost index of 48.3 (43% cheaper than the US) while maintaining strong healthcare (8/10), safety (70/100), and excellent climate (9/10). It's also EU-based with English as an official language. New Zealand (59.3) and Canada (60.7) provide excellent value among major destinations.
03
Which English-speaking country has the best healthcare system?
Singapore (10/10) and Australia (9/10) lead in healthcare quality, followed by Canada (9/10). All three offer universal or highly accessible healthcare with modern facilities and short wait times. Australia and Canada are particularly attractive for families and retirees seeking comprehensive public healthcare coverage.
04
Where should I relocate for the best work-life balance?
New Zealand scores a perfect 10/10 for work-life balance, followed by Malta (8/10), Canada (8/10), and Australia (8/10). These countries offer generous vacation policies, strong labor protections, and cultures that prioritize personal time. New Zealand's "Kiwi lifestyle" is particularly renowned for outdoor recreation and quality family time.
05
Which country offers the highest tech salaries?
The United States leads with average tech salaries of $136,000, followed by Singapore ($100,000), Australia ($95,000), and Ireland ($88,000). However, when adjusted for cost of living, Australia and Ireland offer competitive value. Canada ($73,000) provides lower salaries but significantly lower living costs and universal healthcare.

Dean and Ana
Independent & Founder-Led
We’re Dean and Ana. We moved our family across Europe and built the Golden Visa service we wish existed: real lawyers from day one, direct answers, clear fees, and a fund comparison that speaks human. Strategy, track record, liquidity, and U.S. suitability, so you can decide in days, not months.

We keep momentum with same-day replies and tight checklists from first call to submission.

If something’s slow or risky, we say it. If there’s a cleaner route, we steer you there. The goal is simple: remove noise, keep you in control, and make approval feel inevitable.
